What worked instantly for a male dog was for me to put a drop of my urine on the pad center. Since males mark their territory and want to cover up other dogs markings, they feel like they're accomplishing their mission peeing on mine.

Wet the pad with some of his pee and put his poop on the pad. He will smell that this is the place for his potty. This concept works for all animals that use litter boxes as well. Their pee/poop smell tells them where to go.

Thank you for your question. In order to get your dog to go to the bathroom on the Piddle Pads, you may want to use a product called, House-Breaking "Go Here" Spray made by Nature’s Miracle. This spray can be used on the pad so your dog would know where to go to the bathroom. You may view this product at the link below:

Answer:

we foster dogs..we use the knee,as someone has already suggested.When they jump,raise your knee, completely ignore them and walk to another room.When they come to you,(which they will) welcome them with a hug and some petting.The feistiest dog, only took a week to break him of jumping on people.

A dog trainer told my husband to turn around and give our puppy his back and ignore him for a few minutes. Personally, I pick up my leg so when he jumps, he hits my knee and loses his balance then I tell him no, and I walk away. Both tricks have helped. I hope they help you.

We have a dog about a year old that we recently adopted from an adoption center. He was an owner surrender. He keeps eating his own feces? Our vet suggested putting meat tenderizer on his food. We tried that for several weeks but it didn't stop the behavior.

Answer:

When I got my dog he was on a very cheap quality dog food. He too ate his own feces. I knew I wanted to find the best quality food I could afford for him regardless and had read that doing so might also stop him from eating his own poop. Started him on Wellness and Natural Balance dog food and this habit stopped within the first couple of days. He never eats it and it's been several months now.

I just purchased The Dis-Taste chewable treats from Foster @ Smith--It seems to be working to eliminate my dog from eating his own feces--it took about two weeks to start working but it has stopped this behavior
